*1: If a message Maintenance Due Now/SERVICE DUE NOW does not appear more than 12 months

after the display is reset, change the engine oil every year.

*2: If you drive in dusty conditions, replace the air cleaner element every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).

*3: If you drive primarily in urban areas that have high concentrations of soot in the air from industry and

from diesel-powered vehicles, replace the dust and pollen filter every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).

*4: Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds results in higher transmission temperature.

This requires transmission fluid changes more frequently than recommended by the Maintenance

Minder. If you regularly drive your vehicle under these conditions, have the transmission fluid changed

at 40,000 miles (64,000 km), then every 30,000 miles (48,000 km).

*5: If you drive regularly in very high temperatures (over 110°F, 43°C), in very low temperatures (under

-20°F, -29°C), replace every 60,000 miles/100,000 km.

*6: 6-cylinder models

*7: Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds results in higher level of mechanical (shear)

stress to fluid. This requires differential fluid changes more frequently than recommended by the

Maintenance Minder. If you regularly drive your vehicle under these conditions, have the differential

fluid changed at 7,500 miles (12,000 km), then every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
